Voicing: Duet for two tenors (or two treble) or Organ
By Gwyneth Walker
This anthem is based on the traditional hymn, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, with music and lyrics adapted by the composer. Interspersed with the preexisting material are short phrases, musical settings of lines from the Saint Patrick Breastplate: "God before me. God beside me. God behind me. God above me." Your choir will enjoy singing the traditional tune in 4/4 meter, although it is best known in 3/4.
